We really enjoyed these slightly spicy potatoes served with filet mignon steaks and chimichurri sauce. I had to omit the cherry tomatoes because I'd already been to the store twice today and couldn't bear returning, but I definitely want to use them next time. I accidentally let a whole clove of garlic slip into the recipe (they were mixed with the onions when I prepped beforehand and I neglected to find that one to mince it with the rest) and it was amazing! I'll use LOTS more garlic next time. Course my neighbors are probably crying over the fumes about now, what with this dish and the chimichurri sauce, but oh well! ;o) Thanks for posting, Mrs. Jack!

Can't believe I haven't reviewed this terrific recipe before now! Have made twice for catering luncheons, and they were extremely well-received! The blend of spices and cilantro gives them a wonderful flavor and they accompany almost any meat very well. We did parboil the potatoes the second time around, simply to cut down on baking time. Thank you for posting and easy and superb recipe! :)

We really enjoyed this recipe! I wanted to try something different with fingerling potatoes and this hit the spot. Tomatoes add some freshness. My family doesn't like spicy :( So I had to sub the chili powder for 1/2 cumin and 1/2 paprika and the "latin" flavor worked.
